ted - <PB, forget 733, there are shortages of 800's and Xmas is over. You call Dell and the earliest they can get a pc with an 800 inside is sometime in February. Of course GTW can get you one in a week.> OK. I get the gist here. <Now why didn't GTW go with AMD this past month? I always forget the answer to that question. What? PB, there were very strong rumors in Dec that GTW was going with AMD when suddenly Intel announced the 800 unexpectantly. Coincidently it seemed GTW's Athlon move was put on hold. At that time Petz and I became suspicious....so we called Dell and GTW. While Dell couldn't get an 800 to you by early February; GTW could get it to you in a week. So we figured it was payback time for Intel's shorting GTW the 450-500 MHz chips during the Xmas season. I guess you had to be there. ted
